Founded in 1992 by Fred and Coral Davies, Stoney Creek Oil Products is based on the Davies family farm near Talbot, in Central Victoria - about two hours north-west of Melbourne.
The family company originated as a value adding business on the fourth-generation farming property, to contribute organically-grown products to the health food market, to provide employment opportunities for the local community - and provide tangible, ongoing support for Australian farmers.
Extensive market research in the early 1990’s had revealed that 95% of cold-pressed oils on the Australian market were imported, expensive and of poor quality. This provided an environment favourable to the development of new products - particularly in the burgeoning Flaxseed market.
In response to demand for its products, Stoney Creek expanded production capacity significantly, and is now a major processor of specialty edible oils in the Australian market. The company is recognised as a market leader for freshness and purity of its cold-pressed oilseed products – particularly premium quality organic Flaxseed Oil and Flaxseed Meal.
